It’s small enough to go inside a semi trailer and have maneuverability. Its 4X4, turns very short, moves 20 mph and pretty good visibility. My guy’s won’t use anything else unless it’s going down rows and they were putting a measuring tape on it the other day. There’s a posthole digger attachment for it also. It has a trash rake with a hydraulic grapple and pallet forks. I have a dirt bucket, welded 2 pieces of 2X3 square tubing on the top of my box blade for the forks to slide into. Now I have one, the fertilizer delivery guy’s hate their little piggy back things after they used my JCB 520-50. Man, don’t waste time and money on those things, put a few more dollars with it and buy a small telehandler.

that said, one the sales staff can get good words on from their shop guys, would be worthwhile at 3000 hours. keep in mind, though, the ones I have worked with over the past 8 years, they got 3-4000 hours per year, lots of operators who just didn't give a damn, and a maint crew who cared less. after that, they start getting rough after 3-4000 hours. my experience with hyster from the 40 model up to the 135, most problems are within the first 200 hours.

I've been around a few brands if you have any other questions. Mine likes to blow out hydraulic hoses always at the best times. In your price range you're probably looking at a older unit with 2-3000 hours. They're popular, parts are handier, and from what I have seen they are fairly reliable. If I were to buy another I'd be looking at a Princeton. I wouldn't trade between the two even though I cuss the Palfinger plenty. I had a 2000 Sellick for a while and that thing was a step back in time compared to my Palfinger. I think I could now be the head mechanic at the Palfinger shop because of the amount of work I've done on it. It's a 99 model year and when I bought it it had 700 hours. I have a Palfinger/Crayler piggyback forklift.

Looking for about 5000 lb lift under 7 grand preferably. Does anybody have any reccomendations? Found one of those piggyback 3 wheeled forklifts with big tires for yards, are these any good? Any input is appreciated.

Would like to find some kind of rough terrain unit that can travel on rocks. I would like to buy a forklift for the shop and chemical shed. Posted 00:06 (#1536124) Subject: General forklift question General forklift question Jump to page : 1 Now viewing page 1
